go to your folder options and switch the view it defults with. then shutdown your pc. restart and it should just start with thumbnails elimanting the problem

Some MPEG's don't work now either, its not just the thumbnails. I will have to go back to standard XP.

CPU dependent... lol 'okay'.
Considering a mobile Athlon XP is merely a lower voltage variant (usually) of the desktop version (identical archicture/specs etc) there is no reason why it shouldn't work. They simply make a trace on the CPU conductive to ID it as a mobile. Blame microsoft for this one.

And I also use the same 'desktop' version of that CPU with sp2...as do many people with no troubles at all.

Don't put up with that bs.. there has to be a way of fixing it.. drivers/modes etc. Try disabling stupid bloated winxp themes and making it look like win2k.

Resorted back to reinstalling windows (The Disk had XP Pro written on it, and I was told it was standard) Reinstalled and hello, it is SP2. As soon as I put the drivers on for my mobility chip I will get the same problem. So, I will just wait until I can get my clean little hands on Pro standard and do it all again. As at the moment, it will affect how my Video camera interacts with the PC.
